.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
In a similar fashion to the
|
|
.Xr vnode 9
|
|
interface, all operations that are done on a file system are conducted
|
|
through a single interface that allows the system to carry out
|
|
operations on a file system without knowing its construction or type.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
All supported file systems in the kernel have an entry in the
|
|
.Va vfs_list_initial
|
|
table.
|
|
This table is generated by
|
|
.Xr config 8
|
|
and is a
|
|
.Dv NULL Ns No -terminated
|
|
list of
|
|
.Em vfsops
|
|
structures.
|
|
The vfsops structure describes the operations that can be done to a
|
|
specific file system type.
|
|
The following table list the elements of the vfsops vector, the
|
|
corresponding invocation macro, and a description of the element.

|
.fi
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Some additional non-function members of the vfsops structure are the
|
|
file system name
|
|
.Ns Em vfs_name
|
|
and a reference count
|
|
.Ns Em vfs_refcount .
|
|
It is not mandatory for a file system type to support a particular
|
|
operation, but it must assign each member function pointer to a
|
|
suitable function to do the minimum required of it.
|
|
In most cases, such functions either do nothing or return an error
|
|
value to the effect that it is not supported.
|
|
.Em vfs_reinit
|
|
and
|
|
.Em vfs_mountroot
|
|
may
|
|
be
|
|
.Dv NULL .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At system boot, each file system with an entry in
|
|
.Va vfs_list_initial
|
|
is established and initialised.
|
|
Each initialised file system is recorded by the kernel in the list
|
|
.Va vfs_list
|
|
and the file system specific initialisation function
|
|
.Em vfs_init
|
|
in its vfsops vector is invoked.
|
|
When the file system is not longer needed
|
|
.Em vfs_done
|
|
is invoked to run file system specific cleanups and the file system is
|
|
removed from the kernel list.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
At system boot, the root filesystem is mounted by invoking the file
|
|
system type specific
|
|
.Em vfs_mountroot
|
|
function in the vfsops vector.
|
|
All filesystems that can be mounted as a root file system must define
|
|
this function.
|
|
It is responsible for initialising to list of mount structures for
|
|
all future mounted file systems.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Kernel state which affects a specific file system type can be
|
|
queried and modified using the
|
|
.Xr sysctl 8
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Sh FUNCTIONS
|
|
.Bl -tag -width compact
|
|
.It Fn VFS_MOUNT "mp" "path" "data" "ndp" "p"
|
|
Mount a file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
on the mount point described by
|
|
.Fa path .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa data
|
|
contains file system type specific data and is read into the kernel
|
|
using
|
|
.Xr copyin 9 .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa ndp
|
|
contains the result of a
|
|
.Xr namei 9
|
|
call on the pathname of the mount point and
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
is the calling process.
|
|
.Fn VFS_MOUNT
|
|
initialises the mount structure for the mounted file system.
|
|
This structure records mount-specific information for the file system and
|
|
records the list of vnodes associated with the file system.
|
|
This function is invoked both to mount new file systems and to change the
|
|
attributes of an existing file system.
|
|
If the MNT_UPDATE flag is set in
|
|
.Em mp-\*[Gt]mnt_flag
|
|
then the filesystem should update its internal state from the value of
|
|
.Em mp-\*[Gt]mnt_flag .
|
|
This can be used, for instance, to convert a read-only filesystem to
|
|
read-write.
|
|
If the MNT_UPDATE flag is not specified, then this is a newly
|
|
mounted filesystem.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_START "mp" "flags" "p"
|
|
Make the file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
operational.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
is the calling process.
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa flags
|
|
is a set of flags for controlling the operation of
|
|
.Fn VOP_START .
|
|
This function is invoked after
|
|
.Fn VFS_MOUNT
|
|
and before the first access to the file system.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_UNMOUNT "mp" "mntflags" "p"
|
|
Unmount a file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
is the calling process.
|
|
.Fn VFS_UNMOUNT
|
|
performs any file system type specific operations required before the
|
|
file system is unmounted, such are flushing buffers.
|
|
If MNT_FORCE is specified in the flags
|
|
.Fa mntflags
|
|
then open files are forcibly closed.
|
|
The function also deallocates space associated with data structure
|
|
that were allocated for the file system when it was mounted.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_ROOT "mp" "vpp"
|
|
Get the root vnode of the file system specified by the mount
|
|
structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The vnode is returned in the address given by
|
|
.Fa vpp .
|
|
This function is used by the pathname translation algorithms when a
|
|
vnode that has been covered by a mounted file system is encountered.
|
|
While resolving the pathname, the pathname translation algorithm will
|
|
have to go through the directory tree in the file system associated
|
|
with that mount point and therefore requires the root vnode of the
|
|
file system.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_QUOTACTL "mp" "cmds" "uid" "arg" "p"
|
|
Query/modify user space quotas for the file system specified by the
|
|
mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The argument specifies the control command to perform.
|
|
The userid is specified in
|
|
.Fa id ,
|
|
the calling process is
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa arg
|
|
allows command-specific data to be returned to the system call
|
|
interface.
|
|
.Fn VFS_QUOTACTL
|
|
is the file system type specific implementation of the
|
|
.Xr quotactl 2
|
|
system call.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_STATFS "mp" "sbp" "p"
|
|
Get file system statistics for the file system specified by the mount
|
|
structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
is the calling process.
|
|
A statfs structure filled with the statistics is returned in
|
|
.Fa sbp .
|
|
.Fn VFS_STATFS
|
|
is the file system type specific implementation of the
|
|
.Xr statfs 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Xr fstatfs 2
|
|
system calls.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_SYNC "mp" "waitfor" "cred" "p"
|
|
Flush file system I/O buffers for the file system specified by the mount
|
|
structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The
|
|
.Fa waitfor
|
|
argument indicates whether a partial flush or complete flush should be
|
|
performed.
|
|
The arguments
|
|
.Fa p
|
|
and
|
|
.Fa cred
|
|
specific the calling process and its credentials respectively.
|
|
.Fn VFS_SYNC
|
|
does not provide any return value since the operation can never fail.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_VGET "mp" "ino" "vpp"
|
|
Get vnode for a file system type specific file id
|
|
.Fa ino
|
|
for the file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The vnode is returned in the address specified
|
|
.Fa vpp .
|
|
The function is optional for file systems which have a unique id
|
|
number for every file in the file system.
|
|
It is used internally by the UFS file system and also by the NFSv3
|
|
server to implement the READDIRPLUS nfs call.
|
|
If the file system does not support this function, it should return
|
|
.Er EOPNOTSUPP .
|
|
.It Fn VFS_FHTOVP "mp" "fhp" "vpp"
|
|
Get the vnode for the NFS file specified by the file handle
|
|
.Fa fhp
|
|
in the file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp .
|
|
The locked vnode is returned in
|
|
.Fa vpp .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
A call to
|
|
.Fn VFS_FHTOVP
|
|
should generally be followed by a call to
|
|
.Fn VFS_CHECKEXP
|
|
to check if the file is accessable to the client.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_VPTOFH "vp" "fhp"
|
|
Get a unique NFS file handle for the file specified by the vnode
|
|
.Fa vp .
|
|
The file handle is returned in
|
|
.Fa fhp .
|
|
The contents of the file handle are defined by the file system and are
|
|
not examined by any other subsystems.
|
|
It should contain enough information to uniquely identify a file within
|
|
the file system as well as noticing when a file has been removed and
|
|
the file system resources have been recycled for a new file.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_CHECKEXP "mp" "nam" "extflagsp" "credanonp"
|
|
Check if the file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
is exported to a client with anonymous credentials
|
|
.Fa credanonp .
|
|
The argument
|
|
.Fa nam
|
|
is an mbuf containing the network address of the client.
|
|
The return parameters for the export flags for the client are returned
|
|
in the address specified by
|
|
.Fa exflagsp .
|
|
This function is used by the NFS server.
|
|
It is generally invoked before
|
|
.Fn VFS_FHTOVP
|
|
to validate that client has access to the file system.
|
|
The file system should call
|
|
.Fn vfs_export_lookup
|
|
with the address of an appropriate netexport structure and the address
|
|
of the client to verify that the client can access this file system.
|
|
.It Fn VFS_SNAPSHOT "mp" "vp" "ts"
|
|
Take a snapshot of the file system specified by the mount structure
|
|
.Fa mp
|
|
and make it accessible through the locked vnode
|
|
.Fa vp .
|
|
If
|
|
.Fa ts
|
|
is not
|
|
.Dv NULL
|
|
it will receive the time this snapshot was taken.
|
|
If the file system does not support this function, it should return
|
|
.Er EOPNOTSUPP .
